Right. So let's tackle the derisory déjà vu that is the Micro USB's continuous existence. Apparently, some just can't bear to part with this fiddly little bugger, despite it being, frankly, older than some of the dinosaurs in the tech industry. Ostensibly, there are both commendable and cringe-worthy reasons why this antiquated gizmo continues to bob up and down on the waves of technological progress, like a pound-shop rubber duck.

Now, it seems that some are still clasping old Micro USB to their bosom due to its versatility, reliability and cost efficiency. Alright, we grant, its compatibility with the broad spectrum of devices does make it the Swiss Army knife of connectors — the wrong blend of stubborn utility.
